“Tyson is a rising academy player in our system and we are happy to see him progress through the organization’s professional pathway,” STL sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel said in a release. “His progression through the academy has been in a positive way and getting a recent call-up to the U.S. youth national team also helped his growth.”
He becomes the expansion club’s third homegrown player, joining midfielder Miguel Perez and forward Caden Glover.
